Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner and the Idaho State Police wants to remind motorists to stay safe during their travels. Many local law enforcement agencies including ISP have partnered with the Idaho Transportation Department's Office of Highway Safety for the upcoming Seatbelt Mobilization Patrol. During these patrols, officers will have zero tolerance for non-seatbelt usage including passengers. According to ITD, Eastern Idaho has the lowest rate of seatbelt usage and the Mobilization Patrol is one of the keys to increase usage. Agencies will also be gearing up for extra D.U.I. patrols during the holiday weekend, so please don't drink and drive.

ISP reminds motorists to observe the "Move Over Law", which requires motorists to slow down and move over if possible when approaching a stationary Authorized Emergency Vehicle displaying flashing lights. Every year there are a number of police officers that are killed nationwide while parked on the side of the road during the course of their duties. The Move Over Law helps protect the law enforcement officers and emergency service personnel who risk their lives protecting the public.

May is Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The Idaho Transportation Department is partnering with Idaho STAR and the Idaho Highway Safety Coalition for Motorcycle Safety to encourage drivers to be extra alert and cautious when driving to help keep motorcycle riders safe.

The Idaho State Police are cracking down on cars and trucks that drive aggressively on Idaho roadways. On May 19th and 20th, ISP will be working in conjunction with other law enforcement agencies and local trucking companies to stop and cite drivers that tailgate, speed, cut off other drivers, or make unsafe lane changes.

The TACT Project was developed to help reduce the number of people that are injured and killed each year on Idaho roadways in crashes involving commercial vehicles. Current Idaho crash data shows that in over 75% of the crashes involving commercial vehicles, the crash was caused due to the action of one or more of the involved drivers. ISP hopes that by educating drivers about how their actions can impact others will help reduce the number of crashes and improve the safety on Idaho roadways. Since ISP began using the TACT Project, crashes in the target areas have been reduced by as much as 60%. The effectiveness of the TACT program has gained support from both the trucking industry, as well as other safety agencies.

According to Lieutenant Reese, Deputy Commander of the Idaho State Police Commercial Vehicle Safety Section, "We will consider our program a success if what we do stops even just one crash from happening. Stopping even one crash means one less person that is injured or killed, and one less family that is affected. Our goal is to make the roadways safer for everyone."
